RVD had a funny response and started talking about the history of marijuana in the United States.

"So cannabis was actually prohibited in 1937. Harry J. Anslinger was the head of the FBM, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, before the DEA and so he had a hard-on against marijuana and prohibited it with uh this movie, Reefer Madness, and all this intentional disinformation on his campaign."

The Veteran continued:

"And so the 60s that you're referring to was kind of like a coming out of people in their freedoms and starting to feel like, I'll from underneath the power, the pressure of the government, you know, for whatever it was gay rights movements, there was a lot of different stuff yes and cannabis was part of it. But, it is now still prohibited federally. Although, there's only 12 States left that don't have some kind of legal marijuana programs. There'll be more states by the way because there's at least three of them are going to vote it through." RVD Said.

"Don't worry, we'll play that at Double speed. My concern is that weed is a gateway drug mainly to podcasting. How do you feel about that?"

"Well if you put it that way, I would recommend stay away from weed." said RVD [ From 3:15 to 5:00]
